Tortured love

To cry out in anger
To shed tears of hate
Why are these caused by love?
Can it be love tisnt good?
Who, then, should not be a fool
when they trust blindly in this object
in this thing that in truth is so rare
yet peopletake it as what its not?
Is it right to be yourself
if it hurts when you are?
Is it bad to stick up for your beliefs
if you already know you will be torn down again and again for it?
Is the temptation to know something
way too great to bear
Thus screwing us over in the end?
To lash out and hurt those you love
To fall astray to what you are trying to achieve
To die inside when you can't even shed a tear
these things we do in the name of this false love
Can we ever stop this horrid cycle
or will disaster take its turn
in this dreaded, unending nightmmare,
the nightmare called life?
